Police Report: Dogs to be executed for rampage

A rottweiller and pit bull dog were impounded and will be euthanized after they attacked and killed a smaller dog and wounded another Friday morning, St. Johns County Animal Control reported.

The two dogs were owned by a woman living in the 2400 block of County Road 13 North. Animal Control supervisor Paul Studivant said they were reported to be running free when they entered a yard and tore apart an adult schnauzer about 8:30 a.m. Friday.

"The owner signed both dogs over to us," he said. "They will be put down. We know we won't have a problem with these two animals again."

The schnauzer died of its wounds after the attack. The two larger dogs had earlier attacked and seriously injured a dachshund, who was treated at Switzerland Animal Hospital.

Studivant said the investigation is continuing and that the owner of the attacking dogs could face culpable negligence charges.
